Recently I got the chance to sit down and have a phone conversation with MTV’s “Teen Mom” cast member Catelynn. After an awkward start, I accidentally called her Carly instead of Catelynn, the 18-year-old put me at ease with her girly laughter. There was so much I wanted to know about her. After all she was the only one of the girls who chose to give her baby up for adoption. A decision that her family disagreed with. I wanted to know how old Carly is now and what type of emotional attachment did she have towards the soon-to-be toddler. In a delightfully, young, teenage sounding voice she explained to me that Carly was now a one-year-old. And the feelings she has for the little cutie would fall more under the heading of aunt like. In a way that hints that what she has gone through has made her wise beyond her years, she tells me that Carly has a mother. And that person is the woman who is raising her. I then wanted to know about the level of contact. She explained that she regularly receives e-mails and gets pics on a monthly basis. Of course I had to make some inquires regarding her relationship with Tyler:) Birth father of little Carly.
The tone of her voice shifts slightly as she tells me how in every relationship there are bumps but also that things were improving. During the first episode of this season Tyler and his mother ask her to move out, indicating that perhaps some space was needed between the two teens. I asked how things were with her mother. No surprise to those of us who watched the first season that things are still strained between the mother and daughter. I wrapped up the interview with questions regarding her future.

This is so cool. I like Catelynn. Don't know about Amber. Still can't believe she hit her boyfriend that time.
At first I thought the show would glamorize teen pregnancy. I don't think it does. I like Catelynn to. Don't think I could do what she did.
I've actually never seen Teen Mom, but sounds like you had a good conversation!
Watch it once and you will be hooked:!) That's what happened to me.
That was great interview, it covered a huge range of topics and I got a good sense of who she really is.
Awesome interview! She always seemed so grounded and mature..wonder how she is doing now? Would love to know *hint hint*
I know, right? She was my fave. Thanks for reading it.
